Welcome to Rogue Gorge, where nature’s beauty meets trail running excellence in the Southern Oregon Cascades. Immerse yourself in the breathtaking landscapes of the iconic Upper Rogue Wild & Scenic River with our challenging 50K, Half Marathon, and 12K trail races.
Traverse the Rogue Gorge Trail and Upper Rogue River Trail, both National Recreation Trails, offering enchanting singletrack paths through vibrant fall foliage and old-growth forests. The courses follow the river’s dramatic journey through collapsed lava tube chasms, cascading waterfalls, and underground tunnels, providing a trail running experience unlike any other in Oregon.
Discover the geological legacy of Mt. Mazama’s volcanic eruption, which shaped the region 7,700 years ago. The Upper Rogue River, just 20 miles from Crater Lake National Park, showcases the river’s erosive power, featuring Rogue Gorge, Takelma Gorge, Natural Bridge, and lush old-growth forests with colossal Douglas fir, ponderosa pine, and sugar pine.
As we embark on this adventure, we acknowledge the traditional lands of the Takelma, Southern Molalla, and Klamath peoples, respecting their ancestral connection and stewardship of these lands. Join us in celebrating the natural wonders and cultural heritage of Rogue Gorge.
